Abstract
Protein Docking is an important task in computational chemistry and computational biology and yet is very computationally expensive. This paper presents a study on implementing molecular docking program in the Hadoop-based system. The molecular docking platform based on Hadoop provides the preprocessing of ligand datasets and the analysis function of the docking results, it also implements the parallel docking by using MapReduce. Through this platform, the docking time is reduced, and the management of the ligand dataset is convenient.
